Within hegemonic U.S.-American culture and society, transgender people are not only socially, politically, and legally marginalized, but also literarily. The historical prominence of the “transsexual narrative,” which prescribes a medicalized and binary understanding of gender identity as well as a linear and isolated timeline of transition, has had devastating effects on (self-)perceptions, (self-)representations, and thus the material lives of transgender communities. Building on recent scholarship that interrogates trans literature as a genre, as well as theories on home, worldmaking, and reparative reading, this essay argues that contemporary trans literature may act as a space and medium that ameliorates the affective consequences of this marginalization. Using Kai Cheng Thom’s 2017 book Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl’s Confabulous Memoir as an example, I argue that by bursting genre conventions and narrative forms, critically interrogating the concepts of home and trans community, and imagining alternative endings that deviate from prescribed social narratives of transness, Fierce Femmes provides not only a space of hope and belonging for trans readerships but also for trans stories that stray from the “transsexual narrative.”
